Winch PTO gaskets

Howdy do! I've started the winch installation on a w/ow Deuce, and have read the recommendations of installing the PTO before mounting the winch. And have read where multiple PTO gaskets may be required to get the right backlash on the PTO. Anyone know where extra gaskets are available?

Also, one of the cap screws holding the top plate has rounded off on the winch. I'm worried about cranking down on the cap screw too hard and breaking it off. Any recommendations?

the pto gaskets are in the parts cross reference also.

remove and replace the bad cap screw

PM Me...I have real sets of gaskets from DANA here and will sell you a set cheap. Kit comes with two thicknesses of gaskets, instructions, and a bunch of warning stickers.

$10.00 + S&H. I have 5 of these kits.

Call White Owl for the gasket. They use just one thick gasket when putting pto's on trannys.

I'm rebuilding my PTO, and I need not only the gasket(s) to mount it on the trans but also the 3 other gaskets - front, rear and side cover. I'll call Memphis if I have to, but are there any other, less expensive sources? Also I want the 3 seals and 2 boots but I do not want Chinese/Korean junk. Anyone have a source for quality American made parts?

.....Old site is down right now so there is no parts cross ref.....

Guess we all want exactly that........

I can give you the part#s and specs for the seals if that helps. You will find them in all popular brands but..... how to know where they really come from?


And YES please, a GOOD source, at least for the little rubber boots!

They sell the pto gaskets at any place that sells pto parts or heavy truck parts. We get them from truck pro here for about 25 cents each.

The last PTO I pulled off a recently scraped M817 had nothing but red RTV for a seal!

Nappa has them. I feel you should do the clay trick to get the depth right. Trying to feel the lash working through the pto is not my cup of tea.

George at White Owl told me the thick (gray) gasket he sells works in about 90% of PTO installations. I used one and the backlash was perfect. Good luck.

Guys you should look in the phone book and find a local driveline shop they will be able to mount your pto properly or sell you the gaskets to do the job right. I have seen many pto's and transmission' s messed up by not getting the lash right.

If I recall correctly, my PTO took five or six gaskets to get it right. These gaskets come in different thicknesses, so the number of gaskets that works for one person is likely not to work for someone else. All of the PTO gaskets are standard shape and are available very inexpensively at truck parts houses and shops. If you don't know how to measure the clearance yourself, get help from someone that does. You can very easily cause damage if it is not set properly and/or make your transmission hard to shift.

I always check backlash by feel on the output shaft. You have to first see how much slack the pto has in it's own gears and take that into account.

It is very hard (if not impossible) to check the backlash by the TM (with a dail indicator) with the trans in the truck.
